You need to Fail to live

I have recently watched J.K. Rowlings speech at Harvard University. She spoke about her journey to becoming a world renowned aurthor. She spoke about failure and said "It is impossible to live without failing at something. Unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all- in which case, you fail by default." I like the outlook she has on failure and how she sees it as a potential outcome of taking a risk and within the creative world its impossible to strech yourself and others without taking risk.
